 | 10:43 pm - Saul Chernick Interview
I learned about Saul Chernick while reading Paddy Johnson’s Art Fag City blog. In many ways Saul Chernick flirts with the basics of why the practice of creating visual art came into being. He explores a unique purposes of art in that artists have long given physical presence-- as in drawings or paintings-- to the thought of metaphysical entities. Chernick is interested in the visual interpretations of such things because they uncover the beliefs and mindset of those who devised them.
The artist has stated that many of his ideas originate from depictions of miraculous events and figures-- as they appear in Judeo/Christian mythology-- and that he utilizes drawing to revisit, reinterpret, and reconfigure them. The end result is a body of work that meshes old with new in that contemporary issues and secular viewpoints come together with the convictions of past fears and desires that have remained with us in since the Renaissance.

 | 12:19 am - Watercolor Tutorial
Heyas!
Finally had time to do a watercolor tutorial. I know the sound is a bit messed up on the first one. I'm still learning how to use (and not use!) the video camera.
There's a lot of parts to this thing, and they aren't all finished. I hope to upload more tonight and tomorrow!
I got by Stephie Stone at Elfwood ;D

 | 12:01 am - Websites designed for artists, BY an artist
There is nothing more frustrating then spending hours trying to figure out coding to update your website, or add on a new feature. It is the quickest way to silence your muse. You should be working on your art, but instead you are wasting hours trying to figure out how to build your website, or update it.
I want to it for you. I understand the frustrations of trying to do things all your own. My passion is working with artist, to help them create a place where they can display their work professionally. I want to create websites that look wonderful, and are easy to maintain and update.
This month, I am offering a special deal to my fellow artist. For a limited time, for $600, you will get a year of excellent hosting, and a custom designed website, created for you by someone who understands what is important to you.
If you are interested, drop me an email [megan @ stringfellowart .net] or visit my website: [link]

| 04:45 pm - Hi Folks
Shameless plug time....as ever :)
I have a story which I would love to get feedback on....only because writing is no fun if no-one reads it....I love creating and would love to know if people like what I am doing (for no other reason that to satisfy my ego haha)...but critiques are always welcome...none of us are precious darlings...we all are students and we are all learning...if it can be fun as well, hey, then there's nothing like it. Right?

| 01:01 pm - Seeking feedback on a novel
I have two chapters of a novel I am working on submitted to my gallery. I am seeking feedback, suggestions, criticisms, and any other sort of comment on it you wish to provide. It is a fantasy/sci-fi hybrid that mixes the two elements very well, so I have been told my numerous people over the years. You can find both chapters here: http://www.elfwood.com/libr/t/w/twiphoenix/tigerheart,_chapter_1__2.html.html
If you want to read and comment on my other works, feel free to. Though please do mind the dates that each piece is written. Older stuff generally isn't as good, and there's a number of 2004 works.
